PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pauke Murhaa (ranked 390 p4p, 51 weight class) and Three Dog (ranked 62 p4p, 11 weight class). Dog is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fallout. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
